Running Accomplishments:

 I don't really keep good track, but here's what I found online:

Canyonlands Half '08: 1:34:35

Cherry Blossom 10 miler '08: 1:10:09 (alias jonathon strong)

Jingle All the Way 10k '08: 41:46

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

I really need to develop new goals.  It's been a busy year both professionally (field work) and personally (wedding, move,...)

It's time to get back on track and commit to some racing goals for next year.

Long-Term Running Goals:

The long-term goals are much easier--to stay healthy and happy! 

Personal:

Live in Broad Run, VA with my wife; work at US Geological Survey.  Baby cat running around to catch mice in our old house.

noon: 6 miles on the WOD heading east from work.  Gorgeous running weather this week!...but the legs were a bit tired today.  Actually, my whole body feels pretty much wrecked today.  late-week fatigue, i suppose.

~20 miles biking in wine country...to and from a winery.

Gorgeous day for a glass of wine and some easy pedaling.

I really did a number on myself yesterday.  The plan was to do a very relaxed 6 mile job and then head over to the gym to meet up with Kristin.  3 miles in something torqued in my lower back and I was sprawled out on the lawn trying to work it out.  I had to walk back home--actually more like shuffle, like an old man.  Spent the evening suckin down advil's and sittin on a heating pad.  It's lower back/tail bone region.  Today it feels just slightly better, but not good enough to do the drilling I'm supposed to do for work.  This is very upsetting simply because it's totally unprovoked; I wasn't pushing anything.  I have no idea what I did wrong/different.

6 miles on the Reston trails.  I had some discomfort in the hips today, but likely just too many pavement miles.

Followed by 45 minutes of chest/tri/core at the gym.

noon: 6 miles on the wod heading west from work.  I found a small window of relatively dry conditions (just misting) and hit it.  Everything feels great; it was a fairly slow cruise.

noon: Approximately 2.5 miles jogging to the pool and back, with a pretty straight forward 500-400-300-200-100-5(100) pool workout.  I was pleasantly surprised how much endurance I had in the water following a lengthy hiatus.

pm: back/bi's/core in the gym

Jogged to the pool at back with a pretty serious 2000 meter workout in the water.  Tired after this one!

6 miles on the WOD heading west from home.  I needed this run BADLY.  Such a stressful week, and i needed to burn it off on the trail.  7:43 average pace.

Nice little 4 mile run with every intention of hitting the gym afterward, but got too excited for the pirate party to worry about a petty little workout!

noon: jogged to the pool and back and did a ~2000 meter workout with Will, Roger, and Laura.  I was rocked during this entire workout--I'm surprised I even finished.  Felt great!
